<![CDATA[This article discusses the Collection and History of the Museum of Struggle of Kodam IV/Diponegoro in 1983-1987 which is a military museum that has a long history in collecting collections and changing the function of the building from the headquarters of Kodam IV/Diponegoro to the Military Museum. Collections in a museum are not necessarily obtained from one party alone, many parties are involved in the process of collecting and establishing a museum. This study aims to determine the process of collecting collection objects from a museum and how the Mandala Bhakti Museum changed from Kodam to a museum building throughout 1983 to 1987. This study uses historical research methods consisting of heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography supported by the availability of adequate primary sources through archives from the Mandala Bhakti Museum library. The results of the study show that the Mandala Bhakti Museum obtained military collections from various parties such as internal collections of Kodam IV/Diponegoro to grants from other Military Museums. These findings illustrate how the process of collecting, repairing, and establishing a museum can occur with the assistance of others who contribute to the museum’s collection.Keywords: Museum Collections, Military, Museums, Museum History ]]>
